PART 1: BEFORE PUTTING INTO OPERATION

Important safety instructions:

• Read carefully and store for future use.

• The safety of this appliance complies with industry norms and meets legal appliance safety requirements.

However, as manufacturers, we consider it our duty to provide you with the following safety instructions.

• It is essential that you store this user's manual in a safe place so that you can use it in the future. If you

intend to sell the appliance, give it to another owner, or if you move, always make sure that the user's

manual is attached to the appliance, so that the new owner can  nd out about the operation of the

appliance and the relevant warnings.

• Before installation or operation of the appliance you MUST carefully read all the safety instructions and the

user's manual.

• Before putting the appliance into operation for the  rst time, check that it has not been damaged during

transport.

• Never connect a damaged appliance. If some parts are damaged, contact the supplier.

• If the washing machine is supplied in the winter months, when the temperature falls under 0°C, store the

appliance at room temperature for 24 hours before  rst use.

General safety instructions

• Changing the technical parameters, or any making other modi cations to the appliance is dangerous.

• During the course of the high temperature program the door heats up to a high temperature. Do not

touch the door!

• Ensure that small household pets cannot get into the drum. It is therefore better to always check the inside

of the drum before use.

• Items such as coins, safety pins, nails, bolts, stones and other heavy or sharp items can cause considerable

damage and do not belong in the appliance.

• Use only the recommended amount of fabric softener and washing detergents. If you use a higher amount

than is recommended, the fabric could be damaged.

• Always use the amount of detergent recommended by the manufacturer.

• Small pieces of laundry such as socks, shoelaces, washing bands, etc. should be washed in a special

purpose washing bag or in a pillow case, because the individual items could become jammed between

the tube and the rotating drum.

• Do not use the washing machine to wash products from metal skeletons, fabrics which are not hemmed

or that snag.

• After use, before cleaning or maintenance always disconnect the washing machine from the power supply

and turn o the water inlet.

• Never attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may lead to

injuries or serious damage to the appliance. Contact your local service centre for repairs. Always request

original spare parts.

• Do not use multi-sockets or extension cords.

• Do not plug in the appliance with a defective power cord.

• If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by the manufacturer or an authorised service technician to

prevent hazardous situations.

• Do not pull the power plug out of the power socket by pulling on the cord. Hold the power cord by holding

the power plug directly.

• Do not connect the power plug if you have wet hands.

EN - 3

01/2011

• Never touch the appliance if you have wet hands or feet.

• Never open the detergent drawer while washing.

• Never attempt to open the washing machine door while washing.

• Because the washing machine can become very hot during operation, do not touch the hose during the

draining or  lling process.

• In the case of any defect,  rst turn o the appliance, disconnect it from the power supply and shut o the

water inlet. Do not attempt to repair the device yourself. Contact the nearest authorised service.

• Do not forget that the packaging material from the washing machine may present a danger to children.

• Do not allow children to play with the washing machine.

• Keep household pets at a safe distance from the washing machine.

• The washing machine should only be used by persons fully instructed about the instructions, provisions

and controls described in this user's manual.

• This washing machine is designed for domestic use only. The use of the washing machine for commercial

purposes voids the warranty.

• Do not install the appliance on a carpet or another similar surface, which could block the ventilation

openings on the underside.

• Do not place the drain hose into a container, bucket or sink.

Recommendation

• Long term contact of washing detergents and fabric softeners with air will cause them to dry out and stick

to the walls of the drawer. To prevent this from happening,  ll the drawer with washing detergent and

fabric softener immediately before washing.

• We recommend the use of the prewash only for heavily soiled laundry.

• Do not exceed the maximum loading capacity of the drum.

• This appliance must not be used by persons (including children) with physical, sensory or psychological

impairments or by inexperienced persons, unless properly trained or schooled in the safe use of the

appliance, or unless they have been properly supervised by a person who will be responsible for their

safety. Children should be supervised so as not to play with the appliance.

• If you will not be using the washing machine for an extended period of time, pull it out of the power

socket, shut o the water inlet and leave the door open so that the inside of the washing machine can dry

out and so unpleasant odours are not created.

• As a result of quality control procedures some water may remain in the washing machine. This will not

damage the washing machine in any way.

• We recommend that the  rst wash is performed using the White 90 - 95° program (depending on the model)

without any laundry, put 1/2 a measuring cup of detergent into the second detergent compartment.

EN - 4

PART 2: INSTALLATION

Carefully read the entire user's manual before putting your washing machine into operation and store it in a

safe place for future reference.

Removal of the transportation screws

• You must remove the transportation screws located in the back part of the washing machine before

putting it into operation.

• Loosen the bolts using a correctly sized spanner, turning it anticlockwise. (PIC. 1)

• Remove the bolts by pulling them out. (PIC. 2)

• Insert plastic plugs found in the accessories pouch, into the transportation screw openings. (PIC. 3)

• Carefully store the transportation screws removed from the washing machine for future transport purposes.

NOTE:

Defects caused by starting the washing machine with the transportation screws installed are not covered

by the warranty.

PIC. 1

PIC. 2 PIC. 3

EN - 5

01/2011

Levelling the washing machine

• Do not place the washing machine on carpets or similar surfaces.

• To ensure quite and vibration free operation of your washing machine, you should place it on an even,

non-slip and  rm surface.

You can level the washing machine by adjusting the adjustable feet:

• First loosen the plastic nut.

• Adjust by screwing out the feet upwards or downwards.

• After levelling the washing machine, re-tighten the plastic nut by screwing it upwards.

• Never level the washing machine on an uneven surface by placing cardboard, wooden blocks, etc. under

the feet.

Electrical connection

• Technical speci cations of your washing machine: 220-240 V ~ 50 Hz.

• A special grounding plug is attached to the power cord of your washing machine. This plug must be fully

inserted into a grounded power socket (with 10 A). The electrical fuse or circuit breaker to which the

washing machine is connected should be rated at 10A. If you do not have such sockets and fuses in your

home, have them installed by a quali ed electrician.

• Our company takes no responsibility for whatever damages caused by using the washing machine without

grounding.

Water supply connection

• Depending on the functions of your washing machine the washing machine is equipped with either

a single water inlet (cold) or a double water inlet (cold/hot). The hose with the white end is intended for the

cold water inlet and the hose with the red end is intended for the hot water inlet (on washing machines

with a hot and cold water inlet).

• So that water does not leak from the connection points, the hose kit also includes 1 seal (for washing

machines with a cold water inlet) or 2 seals (for washing machines with hot and cold water inlets). Install

these seals on the end of the water inlet hose connected to the tap.

• Connect the hose with the white end to the water inlet valve with the white  lter and the hose with the red

end to the water inlet valve with the red  lter (the second mentioned option applies to washing machines

with a hot and cold water connection). Tighten the plastic connecting parts using your hand. A quali ed

plumber will provide a safer connection.

• The water pressure of 0.1 - 1 MPa in your water tap will ensure a more e cient operation of your washing

machine (the pressure of 0.1 MPa equates to a  ow rate of more than 8 litres of water per minute from

a fully open tap).

• After the connections are complete, check that the connections do leak, by fully opening the tap.

• Check that the supply hoses are not bent, broken or cracked.

EN - 6

01/2011

• Connect the supply hose to a 3/4" threaded water tap.

• If the washing machine has a dual water inlet (for hot and cold water), the temperature of the hot water

should not exceed 70 °C.

Hot water inlet (valve with a red  lter)

Cold water inlet (valve with a white  lter)

Water drain connection

• Check that the supply hoses are not bent, twisted, cracked or excessively stretched.

• The drain hose should be installed at a height of min. 60 cm and max. 100 cm above the ground.

• The end of the drain hose may be inserted directly into the drain opening or to a special end  tting

attached to the drain of the wash basin.

• Never attempt to extend the length of the drain hose by adding extra parts.

NOTE:

Do not place the drain hose into a container, bucket or sink.

PART 4: WASHING LAUNDRY

• Connect the washing machine to a power socket.

• Open the water tap.

First wash cycle

There may be some water left over inside the washing machine from the factory tests. We therefore recommend

to perform the  rst wash without laundry so as to drain this water; put half a measure of standard detergent

into compartment 2, which is used for washing detergents and select the program for cotton at 90 °C.

Before actually washing

Sorting laundry

• Sort the laundry according to its type (cotton, synthetics, delicates, wool, etc.), washing temperature and

the level of dirtiness.

• Never wash whites together with coloured laundry.

• Because your new coloured laundry may release some of its colour, wash it separately.

• Before placing the laundry into the washing machine check pockets for any forgotten items. In this way

you will prevent damaging your clothes and the washing machine.

• Do up zips and buttons on the laundry.

• From curtains and drapes remove the plastic or metal hooks or insert the into a wash bag and tie it up.

• Turn clothing such as pants, knitted fabrics, T-shirts and singlets inside out.

• Wash small items such as socks and handkerchiefs in a wash bag.

Standard washing Max. washing temperature 90°C Max. washing temperature 60°

Max. washing temperature 30° Hand wash Do not wash

The mark shown under the symbol means that a product (laundry) marked in this way must

not be exposed to excessive mechanical stress and also the e ective duration of temperature, humidity,

auxiliary agents (softeners) must be as short as possible.

Placing clothing inside the washing machine

• Open the door of the washing machine.

• Spread the laundry evenly inside the washing machine.

• Insert one item at a time.

• When closing the door, make sure that no laundry has been caught in the door.

• Firmly close the washing machine door, otherwise the washing machine will not start.

Detergent dosage

The amount of detergent you use in the washing machine depends on the following criteria:

• The consumption of detergent changes with the degree of dirtiness of the laundry. Do not use a prewash

for lightly soiled laundry and use a small amount of detergent in the 2 compartment for washing

detergents.

• For excessively soiled laundry select a program with a prewash, put ¼ of a detergent measuring cup into

compartment 1 for washing detergents and put the remainder of the measuring cup into compartment 2.

• Use washing detergents specially made for automatic washing machines. The dosage of the detergent is

shown on the packaging.

• Increased water hardness necessitates the use of an increased amount of detergent in the wash.

• Increases laundry amounts also necessitate the use of an increased amount of detergent in the wash.

• Pour fabric softeners (conditioners) into the fabric softener compartment in the detergent drawer. Do

not go over the MAX mark. Otherwise the fabric softener will  ow out the siphon into the water used for

washing.

• If the fabric softener is very thick then dilute it with water before placing it in the compartment. The thick

fabric softener could clog up your siphon and so prevent the fabric softener from entering the washing

machine.

• You can use liquid detergents for all washing programs without a prewash. For this purpose install into the

second detergent compartment in the drawer a measuring cup and pour in the detergent according to the

mark shown on the measuring cup.

EN - 12

Operating the washing machine

Program selection

Select the appropriate program for your laundry according to the program table

Additional functions

Before starting the program you can also select an additional function.

• Press the button of the additional function that you wish to select.

• If the symbol of the additional function lights up on the display, the selected additional function has been

activated.

• If the symbol of the additional function  ashes on the display, the selected additional function has not

been activated.

Reason for the additional function not being activated:

• The additional function, which you wanted to use is not compatible with the program you have selected.

• The washing machine has already gone past the stage during which it was possible to use the additional

function.

• It is not compatible with the additional function, which you selected before it.

Half load detection system

Your washing machine is equipped with a half load detection system. If you put approximately half (and less)

the maximum load capacity of laundry into the washing machine, the washing machine will start so that in

certain programs (White 95°, Colorfast 60°, Non colorfast 40°) it saves time, water consumption and electricity.

If the half load detection is activated, the washing machine can complete your selected program in a shorter

time.

Twinjet system - Dual channel system

The water with the washing detergent will be circulated in the washing machine by 2 spraying mechanisms

and a mixing system by means of a dual channel system. The circulated detergent water solution will be

sprayed on the laundry enabling better washing e ciency.

The dual channel system helps to wash a larger amount of laundry in a shorter time with better results,

guaranteed lower electricity and water consumption.
